No. For the 128M version, all 3 bytes are the same between
W25N01GV and W25N01KV.

Don't do that. I abandoned this patchset because I later found that
some early W25N01GV doesn't contain a parameter page at all,
which means detecting W25N01GV/KV using only the parameter
page is unreliable.
I think what Boris proposed earlier in v1 (use parameter page
just to distinguish the two chips) is the correct way to go.

BTW I was making this patchset for a potential future ID conflict
between ESMT and GigaDevice, and I don't actually need to
deal with the W25N01GV/KV nonsense now, so I don't have a
plan for send a new version of this atm.
